[issue8964] platform._sys_version does not parse correctly IronPython 2.x version

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

The patch looks good, except one nit:

if 'IronPython' in sys_version

is probably not supported in IronPython 2.0, since support for "n-char in m-char" tests were added after Python 2.1.

Now, you can either leave this in and remove the IronPython 2.0 support from platform.py (which is fine, IMO), or change the test to use the .find() method.
